Futures
Los Angeles Kings+4000
2022-23 NHL Stanley Cup - To Win
0.75u
DraftKings 5:27 June 29. Lots of room to be aggressive and get better beyond today's massive addition, so many young pieces such as Byfield, Kempe, Spence/Durzi who should logically take steps forward, and fought through awful injury luck last year to solid results. Easily the best longshot on the board Imo if you want one.

Colorado Avalanche+500
2022-23 NHL Stanley Cup - To Win
1.5u
If your a FanDuel user with units to hold on this for a year, I think this is such a great price. Available July 13 at 12:03. Might be boring to say but I can't see how anybody in the West gets close to Colorado this summer. Think they are winning the cup closer to 1/3 maybe even 1/2 if healthy and there's a big edge with this price.

Calgary Flames+1800
2022-23 NHL Stanley Cup - To Win

Team is surely going to be completely all-in this season after today's moves heading into the deadline. Sure some people will really love their chances now, but I just think this is worth a small play at this number.

Toronto Maple Leafs+1000
2022-23 NHL Stanley Cup - To Win

+1000 available on FanDuel 10:19 am EST Monday September 26. Willing to take the hate on this, but I think they won't end up struggling much this year and that the price stays close to this (or lower like most books are offering so far) Touch on this here on our pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/line-change/id1597051813

Available on bet365 11:47 pm EST October 20. Seems like everything is setting up perfectly for this in the early going, especially if Edmonton are going to consistently play a lot of high scoring close games.

**Mcdavid rocket trophy*** available on bet365 at +300 at 10:30 pm EST November 1. Went down from when I placed 5 mins before this at +400 and was gonna suggest 1.5 units, but still worth a full unit at +300.

2022-23 NHL Stanley Cup - To Win
0.5u
FanDuel 10:50 pm EST November 28. Disagree that this start should have reduced Torontos chances in this market. This is a top 3 side in the league and people just hate them and cry first round non stop to argue they aren't good. History (and running extremely bad) doesn't change their chances of winning THIS season. Listened to the same ignorant commentary about the Caps for years and then all of a sudden without playing any differently the breaks came at the right times and they win the cup. That's how variance in hockey really works.

Bet365 2:22 March 30. Seeing this more as a ticket we can force some money out of rather than something that actually hits. I actually like the chances Calgary sneaks in now, and then think people would be surprised how closely the first two series would be priced. Those close prices is exactly what we would want to make something out of this. (Good note on that is Calgary closing -140 versus a healthy Los Angeles with Korpisalo in goal Tuesday).

Don't even really think the wild are very good- but this being 5x their outright price is absurd. If they win it's behind unreal goaltending leading to coin flip type games. Bet365 April 15.

Bet365 9:39 April 29. This is a punt, but not as bad as it might seem. Kraken are 17/1 to win outright- No forward even has two goals in this series, Dunn isn't piling up points either. I think Grubi has a pretty firm lead if they actually go on a miracle run.

Summary

Handicapper looking to use extensive hockey knowledge to create interesting and detailed hockey content and game articles as a writer for Action. Always working to study recent performances in order to help guide usage of analytics, and help create an understanding of where data may be skewed with regards to NHL handicapping and predictiveness. Nick is a Washington Capitals fan, who still coaches and plays hockey.

Experience

Nick has thoroughly enjoyed covering the NHL for the Action Network since last season, and continues to try to develop in an exciting new field as a writer. With lesser experience towards writing and in media but very confident of knowledge towards handicapping and the NHL, Nick reached out to Michael Leboff with a number of sample pieces looking to receive an opportunity writing about his passion and was grateful to be brought on board with Action.

Education

Nick has acquired Personal and Group training certifications, and has worked in the fitness field alongside handicapping, coaching hockey, and writing.

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Live bet on the Capitals down 3-2 after two strong periods to Vegas in cup-clinching game 5. Best moment as a fan of hockey, but also a good example of the sorts of live situations in which Nicholas looks to find value.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Too many to recall, but surely they have been balanced out with as many lucky hits.
